Crying For Value

Andrew Welch, a member of Alton Writer’s Ink, is featured in the Read Local Caledon collection.

When Andrew Welch moved to Alton in 2004, he had no idea that scattered incidents during that transition would lead him to a unique exploration of human motivations, the power of numbers, and the role of value systems in our everyday lives. A decade later, his debut book “The Value Crisis” is gaining attention far beyond Caledon’s borders.

When not writing, Andrew is a speaker, facilitator, IT consultant, actor, and more. He has directed Theatre Orangeville’s Young Company, holds a national role on the Canadian Red Cross Disaster Management team, and is presently serving as Caledon’s award-winning Official Town Crier.
